First Love

How many actually remember your first crush? I did. Actually, I recently met up with her, thanks to mutual friends. And we were "made" to sit with each other throughout. I fell asleep halfway (cos the seats were too darn comfortable!) I was all excited when we planned to meet, but as it drew closer, I kinda dreaded it. Like it'd be so awkward, not knowing what to say and all that.

Friends arranged to meet Girl(to protect her identity and my dignity)last Sunday, knowing that I invited myself, just to see her. Friends agreed, without Girl's knowledge, they just told her they got a surprise gift for her. But she'd guessed it. So we went into the packed arena, she was late, so we reserved a seat next to me. And she came wearing a blue dress. I've seen her photos, but she really did look very different from the last time I left her. The girl was very friendly throughout, I didn't know what she was thinking, but I was recalling some really old memories with her. And the whole time I was trying to picture her smaller, younger, just the way I liked her then. Oh, the way she talked, coughed, seemed oh strangely too familiar. She's leaving to get her PR soon, maybe that'll be the last I'll see of her.

It was great just seeing her again, even though it was just so short, couldn't really catch up, and for some reason, I wasn't myself that day. It's been 15 years since we've spoken, but I'm glad we did.
